HcysehoId Decoration.


Moorish lanterns look decidedly
out of place ia modern halls.
Ancestral armor made Of papier
machc is not Imposing in any sense
of the word.
Twisted iron is considered the
proper thing for gas brackets in q
good many handsome rooms.
An exceedingly artistic portiere
can be made of an ordinary parti-
colored grass hammock.
Most interiors now days run to
'trash." Every body embroiders and
everybody "decorates" china, and o
place must be found for the results
of their labors.
Keep your crockery where it be-
longs. Plates and jugs do not be-
long on parlor walls or over parlor
doors unless they are really works
of art, which precious few of them
are.
People possessed of handsome and
valuable old fashioned epergnes are
at loss what TO do with them. Any
thing that obstruots the view Of ones
opposite neighbors is now consider
ed every bad form" in table furnish
ing.
Some new wall papers are SO hand
some and look so much like old tap
estries and silk brocades that they
furnish the walls of a room by them
selves. So, after you have them up,
don't conceal them with cheap pic
lures in expensive frames.
The handsomest, one might say
the only admissible fire screen, is
thick, bevel edged sheet of plate
glass. Anything that hides the glow
of fire from the sight is palpable
blunder, for in these days of furnaces
and steam heaters, the open fire is
used, as rule, only for decorative
purposes.

The Tea Drinkers Disease.

According to The Journal of the
American Medical Association, At
tention has recently been drawn to a
new nervous disorder, said to be es-
pecially prevalent in England and
America. 1t is called "theism," or
tea drinkers disease. 1t exists in
three stages-the acute, subacute and
chronic. At first the symptoms are
congestions of the alphalic vessels,
cerebral excitement and animation of
the face. These physiological effects,
being constantly provoked, give rise
after o while to reaction marked by
mental and bodily depression. The
tea drinker becomes impressonable
and nervous, pale, subject to cardiac
troubles, and seeks relief from these
symptoms in a further indulgence in
the favorite beverage, which for n
time restores him to sense Of we'll
being These symptoms character
ize the two first stages,
In chronic cases, theism is char
acterized by grave alteration ofthe
function of the heart, and of the vase
motors, and by disturbance of nu-
triton. The person becomes sub
iect to Authorizations, nightmares
and nervous trembling. With those
who take plenty of exercise habit
ual consumption may often be indulg-
ed in with impunity, but with women
and young people who follow. sed cnt-
airy occupations this is not the case.
The best treatment for theism is said
to be indulgence in free exercise
such as walking and open air life

Attempt at Burglary.

Another attempted burglary was

Misses Clapp and Babcock were out
visiting and between nine and ten
O'Clock, Mrs. Hamilton, who lives
opposite at the residence of Judge
Leonard, observed a man standing
on the front step of Miss Clapp's
house. Thinking he was caller
Mrs. Hamilton called to him twice
across the street that the ladies
were out calling, but the man did
not respond. She then crossed the
street and asked the man what he
wanted, when he said "Nope of
your Dbl business. Mrs.
Hamilton replied ~ will make it
my business" and immediately ran
to Senator Stewards residence.
where the ladies were, and gave the
alarm. On investigation it was
found that the would-be robber had
torn down the vines growing over a
window at the house, and a number
of footprints made by a man were
seen under the window in the soft
ground. The citizens of this city
should have pistols prepared to |
meet all such characters, with whom |
